Liew Niyomkarn is a sound artist and composer based in Brussels. Liew’s work focuses on the practice of listening, and harmonic spectra of musical tones and their potential interrelationships, using string instruments such as a zither, lap steel, but also Supercollider, a coding language, to investigate and create different timbres —- a result of spontaneous perceptual shifts. Liew composes music driven by long resonances, sustain and repetition, and field recordings of environments to detect time and space.

Liew holds an MFA in Calarts and a Sonology course in The Hague. Liew has presented her work in various places such as High Zero Festival (Baltimore), Studio Loos (Den Haag), WORM (Rotterdam), STUK (Belgium), DAAD (Berlin), Rewire Festival (Den Haag), Oscillation Festival (Brussels) , Dour Festival (Dour), Meakusma (Eupen), Seendosi (Seoul), Toneelhuis (Antwerp) and among other places. Liew has taught graphic score workshops and in a research group with a long-term collaborator, Velma Spell.
